Use the electricity to heat up a lump of iron to a very high temperature, than use electromagnets to fling it into space?

- yetihehe 1y agoIf you heat up iron to very high temperature (>770°C), it's much harder to fling it using electromagnets.
- BobaFloutist 1y agoAh that's annoying. Fine, we use the electricity to heat...uh...molten salt encased in stone, and to pull back a very big heat-proof slingshot, and after a threshold it lets go and launches it into space.
